I really don't have a true oppinion about cloning, but surely. I feel okay with it, but I have some strange beliefs, and I feel like cloning can turn into something bad, however you try it. Nature is way more advanced than our science. We cannot dare to imitate the wonders of nature without screwing something up. Just look at how ****** up the world is nowadays. But, Cloning will surely help for animal conservation procceses and medicinal research.

I am not against it, but i am not in favor because i think things should be tested a lot before cloning humans, with do not want to create one to make him suffer, so, cloning is the future, not to clone people but to clone food and organs.

i'd better be careful with my wording here... cloning is not such a simple topic as it may seem...

as other people have mentioned, cloning is basically making a genetic copy of something.

now, i am one person who is very interested in science, and i have been following this topic very closely. based on the information that i have gathered and my personal opinion, here are the main fors and againsts for cloning.

Fors:
-possibility of creating a human repair kit. This could mean elimination of donor organ rejection and regeneration of damaged tissues.
-the cloning of endangered species or cloning of the DNA of extinct species - this is self explanatory
-it could enable people to raise an identical child after an unfortunate death.
-the ability to clone genetically modified animals. These animals could include cows that produce milk with no lactose etc.

Againsts:
-just because we can, does it mean we should?
-cloning is against the rules of nature - in nature, no two things are meant to be the same
-a very large percentage of cloning efforts end in failure (277 attempts to clone Dolly the sheep).
-clones that do survive often have fatal or problem causing issues in their genes.
-cloning will create a black market for stolen or discarded embryos.
-cloning will stop genetic improvements to a species. This is because genetic improvements usually occur through sexual reproduction, which result in a mixing of the genes of the mother and father.

now, i will move onto a more recent topic: human cloning. you may be surprised to learn that human clones already exist. these clones aren't created in labs - they are twins. twins are genetically different to their parents but are genetically identical to each other

the prospect of human cloning, also, brings forth many arguments for and against

in my opinion, cloning is a good idea as long as it is used appropriately. maybe, we just have to wait for technologies to advance a little bit more, so governments will allow the legal research into embryonic cells and their cloning.

i am a FIRM believer in respecting mother nature and not messing with 'r. cloning, like alot of the other technology around today is bad news. it will come back to haunt us.

we may be able to clone a shell, but we will never be able to clone a soul. there is more out there than we know. i've experienced it and i believe in it. i will never question it or mess with it.

the #1 reason why we are attempting to clone is because we CAN. all other reasons are MUTE. don't let the scientists fool you when they give you their reasons of why......like it will benefit us somehow. it wont. not in the long run. in the short run, it may be exciting, but god help those who can ever support a comcept like this

i watched a movie about a year ago about 2 parents who lost their child and decided to clone this child. boy oh boy was that a mistake!

Cloning in my books is a brilliant idea! But not to such an extent where they should be an inteligent life form just make them like permentely in a coma then if someone needs organ transplants or blood transfusions their will all ways be some spare so it could increase the average life span and many more people could be saved!

A brilliant idea i believe!

I do not want cloning. Well, maybe if 200 experienced engineers/scientists work on it yeah. Otherwise it'd be weird to clone yourself if the clone turned out to be a guy with his left hand 500 pounds, head small as a baseball, and right pinky toe missing. lol

I`m for it because that would be pretty cool, like you could verse yourself at games or make him work or do chores for, like The Simpsons where Homer finds that...forgot wat its called.

Sorry timmi, I disagree with you.
If you could somehow make your clone have the same mindset to actually do chores.
How would you make him/her/it actually DO it?
would some clones rebel?
if you made them do things like that,
wouldn't they be considered slaves?

I do agree in cloning as long as it is for the betterment of mankind. But, there would come a time where "innovations" will diminish the purpose of cloning, wherein it would be use for warfare and invert its true function of saving lives.

i think cloning should be allowed because if you can clone someone with a uncurable disease you may be able to figure out how to save the original.
